  1. Gate is locked but just use your security card to open.
  2. I've just been down and run the engine and give the batteries a tickle. Nobody has told me i can't go onto my boat.
  3. Look forward to seeing a new rocket on the waters of Mercury Bay.
  4. Is your boat timber or glass. Be interested in it's history in the UK.
  5. The Mercs are beconing but it was lamb leg roast at home with a good bottle of Merlot. Oh, and a few beers while i was cooking it. Boat still attached to the marina.
  6. Would he be interested in taking a Lotus 9.2 as a trade. Bugger, i'm still short of a few bucks.
  7. Dynamite would fit the bill for me.
  8. I don't think you have been able to land on Pakatoa for some time.
  9. Traveled from Auckland to Picton years ago to look at a boat that looked the bees knees on trademe and was assured by the broker it was in good condition. Turned out to be a piece of sh...t. They knew we were coming down and the boat was a tip. Dirty dishes in the galley, engine was a pile of rust and topsides in a sad state. Mrs Chariot gave the broker a real spray for wasting our time and money and on that note we walked away.
  10. Great video. Would love to do it but like my boat i am now to old and slow.
  11. Why would you have an EWOF if you only have 12v system.
  12. Not a lot of boats have sold for a while now. It has been a buyers market for some time now.
  13. The Lotus 9.2 isn't a race horse but they are not a pig that has to be motored everywhere. Well balanced and easy to sail and very good cruiser. They 9.5 is similar but a little more tender. Have owned a 9.2 for 10 years and have no regrets.

    New Boat

    Know the boat. Probably the tidiest 1050 in the country. Grant was an very fastidious owner. You have an excellent boat there.
  16. Looks a bit like us on the Coromandel may get some much needed rain and yes a fair bit of wind if it tracks how metvuw predicts.
  17. Next weeks weather pattern is definitely not looking like S/W. East coast looks like it will take a bit of a battering. I think Puff will end up with a bit of salt spray on his windows.
  18. That doesn't half make you feel sick when you watch that happen all around you. Well done to all participants. It's a tough race.
  19. What has happened to Motoboat today. Do they have a problem. Speed seems to be down compared to other boats around them.
  20. Anyone have any idea when the results of the 3rd leg are going to be posted on the SSANZ website.
  21. Had a pod of dolphins hearding bait fish into the shallows on Sunday night at Peachgrove Bay. Great to watch, especially in such spectacular surroundings.
  22. Well done Puff for winning the Mercury Bay boating club new year regatta.
  23. Anything less than 50% why would you bother.
  24. The problem with speed restrictions is that in strong winds some boats require a little more speed to maintain steerage. No doubt the camera wouldn't allow for that.
  25. The sad part HT is that official is on 100k plus.
